[Ipg-smz] In praise of compassionate police officers

[Tom Henderson]

+1. There are angels, here and there. My brother is autistic. So far, 
gentle treatment. I worry that one day, he could be dead as he 
occasionally acts out, but is totally non-violent, just gets agitated in 
gesturing ways. I let him live alone, and he's highly functional. This 
said, the universe is random, and he backs down quickly.
